Lunch Is On Us
The most glamourous night on The Rock’s culinary calendar is only a week away with the 17th staging Jamaica Observer Table Talk Food Awards set to unfold at Devon House on Thursday, May 28.
On board for the fourth time, this year as the event’s platinum sponsor, Victoria Mutual Wealth Management joined the lifestyle paper of choice, to host lunch in the Observer’s executive offices. The handpicked guest list of upcoming food entrepreneurs, established restaurateurs, new blood caterers and seasoned veterans sat around the table in the boardroom for a Brian Lumley-catered repast. Wednesday Social shares more scenes from the Victoria Mutual-sponsored event.
